Hey Everyone! I created this card for my friend who is expecting her second girl next month. This is also my first official card using my circle Nesstabilities. Love them! I wanted to add something warm and fuzzy so I flocked the heart.

Hey Everyone! Welcome to day 2 of the Caardvarks blog hop! The more I played with Core'dinations cardstock the more fun I had! There are so many fun techniques to explore.

Since the inside of the paper is a different color than the top when you tear it, sand it, crinkle it or emboss it you get a fun two toned look. On this card I embossed the cardstock with my Cuttlebug then sanded the top! Easy and fun!

Hey Everyone! I'm packing and getting ready for vacation but I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to make a card for this week's Hero Arts Sketch Challenge! This card is based on Sketch #3. I just got a Silhouette SD for my birthday a few days ago. I almost fell over when I opened the box from my husband. It was the BEST surprise EVER!

Hey Everyone! Hero Arts is showing off some sneak peeks from their upcoming release this week over on their blog. So the challenge is to create a card inspired by one of the peeks. Both of my cards were inspired by this peek HERE.

This card was inspired by the cherries and also the bracket shape.

On this card I was inspired by the Stickles on the cherries. I love how adding Stickles to the inside of the wings totally changes the look of the butterfly.

Hey Everybody! We just made it through a crazy heat wave here so I haven't had a lot of free time to craft this last week. The temps got above 100 so we left our house and stayed with some friends that had AC (thanks Rob & Jenny!).

So today I'm sharing a card I made for Jennifer's Thinking Inking class. I used distress ink for the background design and the sentiment. I needed a lighter shade for the side panels so I inked off once and then got the look I was going for.

This particular class was focused around Stickles. Love the glimmer they add to a project!

I'm totally inspired by Lisa Spangler and this week's Hero Arts challenge theme so I'll be back to share more soon!
